It is equipped with a multimodal AI model capable of integrating visual and vocal inputs for environmental perception.
The integrated artificial intelligence is not based on simple pre-set routines, but on a large-scale language model capable of processing visual and auditory input in real time, allowing the robot to perceive the surrounding space with three-dimensional mapping, move safely, and adapt to unexpected situations.
